Next Spielberg Film on Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

olarmy96 · 12-16-2007, 04:56 AM

I know. I know. Everyone wants the classics (Jaws, Indy, etc), but after reading a thread on how the general public knows very little about HD movies and Blu-ray, I think I've come up with the next big title that should be released on Blu-ray.

The Color Purple.

Here's why. It's Warner Brothers. They go exclusive and announce one of their first Blu-ray exclusive titles will be The Color Purple.

Oprah gave a performance worthy of an Academy Award, though the film took none despite 11 nominations.

Oprah Winfrey is the high priestess of our pop culture. Get her talking about this movie and Blu-ray and you've got a ton of exposure.

Any insiders think this would work?

I'm still waiting for Saving Private Ryan to come to blu! He has no idea what he's missing out on. Just imagine all the action scenes in picture quality and lossless audio. Seems like a dream come true!

I don't think I want to see Oprah in HD regardless of format, but that's just me

i'll pick up private ryan in a heartbeat...

WickyWoo · 12-16-2007, 07:03 AM

Color Purple will absolutely not be the next Spielberg flick released (no, I don't know which one will)

turboedguy · 12-16-2007, 07:06 AM

I sure would like E.T.

Seretur · 12-16-2007, 10:31 AM

Yeah, a bit of a misleading title.

I thought the next Spielberg title on Blu-ray would be a Target exclusive. Go figure.

The Color Purple would be a good title to release, for all the reasons Olarmy states. But it would truly help BD only if it's exclusive. As in Blue. Not Purple. Heh.

And I always thought it would be wise of Spielberg to release some of his lesser titles on Blu-ray first. He already did that, to an extent, with Twilight Zone; but that's as small as it gets. No, he should give us The Sugarland Express, 1941, Always, Amistad, The Terminal, or his one unsung masterpiece, Empire of the Sun.

Because once the big guns that everyone knows about come to Blu-ray, it'll be too late.

While I would love this film on Blu and buy it in a heartbeat, don't expect great PQ out of it (awesome AQ I'm sure)... don't forget he filmed most of it on 1940's type film which is extremely grainy so that it would look like it was filmed in the 1940's.

I'm sure it'll be very high quality grain hehe. And that won't stop me from buying it! I used the DTS DVD version to show off my surround sound system for years.

Around here though, one could also look at it as:
Quit F*cking Trolling

...thought that is certainly not the case with his post.

mystiksuicide · 12-16-2007, 01:56 PM

Sorry it was a good movie to see once but I will pass on it. But I would like his better known titles on blu.

Jurassic Park
Poltergeist
ET
Indy x3

so on...

JohnAlden · 12-16-2007, 02:25 PM

I think the next one of his could be Hook, even though it is not his best. but it will probelly be A good refferance title.
